The site was identified as important in 2002 because it was regularly supporting significant populations of the species listed below, meeting ('triggering') IBA criteria.

Populations meeting IBA criteria ('trigger species') at the site:

Species	Red List1	Season	Year(s)	Size	IBA criteria
White Stork Ciconia ciconia	LC	breeding	1998-2001	10-12 breeding pairs	B2, C6
European Honey-buzzard Pernis apivorus	LC	breeding	1998-2001	7-9 breeding pairs	B3, C6
White-tailed Sea-eagle Haliaeetus albicilla	LC	winter	1998-2001	10-20 individuals	A1, C1
Eurasian Wryneck Jynx torquilla	LC	breeding	1996-2000	200-300 breeding pairs	B2
Middle Spotted Woodpecker Leiopicus medius	LC	resident	1998-2001	70-150 breeding pairs	B3, C6
Syrian Woodpecker Dendrocopos syriacus	LC	breeding	1998-2001	50-60 breeding pairs	C6
Red-backed Shrike Lanius collurio	LC	breeding	1998-2001	1,000-1,300 breeding pairs	B2, C6
Barred Warbler Curruca nisoria	LC	breeding	1998-2001	350-600 breeding pairs	B3, C6
Collared Flycatcher Ficedula albicollis	LC	breeding	1998-2001	1,000-2,000 breeding pairs	B3, C6

1. The current IUCN Red List category. The category at the time of the IBA criteria assessment (2002) may differ.

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2002. The most recent assessment (2010) is shown below.
